PC's and sales...I am a 'power user'...I play PC Games which push the system's capabilities. I have a Pentium MMX 233. I WISH I had a PII but, I don't NEED a PII. My point, I do not think there is that much NEED out there for people to turn over their current PC for a faster processor. I just do not see the sales for HP or it's competitors in the next 6 months. They may have 'wonderful' product and packages but the customers aren't there.

Ron,

It took a long time to land any kind of deal with Wal-Mart. They (as well as Costco/Price and Sam's Club) are really particular about what they will sell, what pricepoints they want to sell them at, and how they want them packaged. Generally they want a "full package" with all the components, rather than giving choices of monitors, printers, etc. Generally we need to set up special "derivative" models to meet their requirements and pricing.
